It was alright until I beat Beast Chuul and the game crashed because of some null pointer object error. None of the progress was saved. I was halfway through the game. The game would be tolerable if it at least saved the stage you were on. Even the most basic roguelites can do this, so there is no excuse. Tutorial level stuff. Developer: add some condition checking for '<undefined>' or null values before you call their member functions. Whatever game development tool you are using does not handle null pointers for you. Frankly it should - it can always try to do nothing while logging a warning for an unreliable code execution. It seems like an issue that can be fixed with a simple "if not null" style extra condition check to avoid using the null value. The game is fun, though I cannot be excited about something that can crash at any moment. If you do not have time to fix it, give it to someone who does. It shouldn't be an issue since it is a free game and the issue probably so simple even AI can suggest a fix if you give it the error message. Just tell it to suggest fixes for unsafe execution lines where member function of an undefined object could be called.

Игра "WayDown" — это атмосферный приключенческий проект с элементами головоломок. Графика вдохновлена минимализмом, а звуковая сцена создает напряженную, мрачную атмосферу. Геймплей основан на исследовании лабиринтов и решении логических задач, что требует внимательности. Плюсы: оригинальная идея, погружение в мир персонажа. Минусы: иногда неясные подсказки и технические сбои. Подойдет любителям медленного, размышлений. Рекомендую для поклонников арт-геймов.

[h1]Before I played WayDown, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
